"Grandpa was a stickler on doing it right.
I am doing what Grandpa wanted," Kennedy said.

Located on the Broadway Tower's third floor - a
single floor above where Craton had his office -
NSIR specializes in removing the cause of
fibromyalgia, headache, back pain, sciatica, scoliosis, asthma
and more, Kennedy said.

"We want to get heard, make a difference and get
the word out. Grandpa was truly a good man," said
Kennedy, who was Craton's protege in his later
years. She has continually studied his research
since 1988.

"I am rediscovering him in the literature. He (Craton) taught
me in increments," Kennedy said.

One of the first people to lease space and open an
office in the newly built Broadway Tower in 1931,
Craton died here in January at
the age of 99.

The renowned chiropractor specialized in nerve
signal interference during much of the later half
of his career. He believed that distress does not
result from spinal alignment, but from how the head
sits on its first vertebra - in particular, two
pairs of facets.

Craton studied chiropractic at Palmer College of
Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, graduating with
degrees in 1925. He and his sister, Ruth Payton, practiced chiropractic together
in Shawnee before Craton moved to Enid in 1929
and eventually located two years
later in the newly built Broadway Tower.

In 1957, Craton moved to Beaumont, Texas, and
eventually to Fort Worth where he continued his
practice.

At the age of 80, Craton announced his retirement.
In a story by reporter Patricia Jimenez of The Fort Worth Telegram,
at that time, the reporter noted, "He (Craton) looks
like he could be a walking advertisement for his
skill. He looks years younger than he is."

Craton received the Texas Chiropractic College's
Centennial Award in 1995. He returned to Enid a
year later.

Former OG&E Electric Services worker Rick Heras was
referred to Craton by Kennedy. Heras said he
suffered migraine headaches.
